"Something’s going on, a change is taking placeChildren smiling in the street have gone without a traceThis street used to be full, it used to make me smileAnd now it seems that everyone is walking single fileAnd many hand their heads in shameThat used to hold them highAnd those that used to say helloSimply pass you by

Think for a minute, stop for a minuteThink for a minute, stop for a minute"

lyrics by the housemartins

"And nothing I could sayCould ever make them see the light.Now apathy is happy thatIt won without a fight....."
